'partying drawings, of 'vhich- 'Beit known thut I, .Jessen Brancher-Lof Mil-ford, in' the county of Worcester, nniLState of Massachusette, havemade n new: nndusei'ul invention havingr reference to SpinningSpindle Steps nndft'hci'r caps;' :mil I do hereby declare `the same tohefully described in the following-specification, and represented intthenccom ..7 i l I r Figure l'is n. verticalv section ofthe lower portion of a. spinning-machine spindle, xtsstep anl cover, as 4provided with my invention. v

Figure 2 is n transverse section taken through the annular flzingeofr-the spindle. l' i In the drawings, A denotes 'the spindle, B the step, and C thecover of the-lutter. The bearing ofthe foot a ofthe spindle is shown' at 'b'.

A the some ser-ving also to keep fibrous filaments or dust from working between the cover and' step, nud getting into the lutter. yI also encompass the spindle, when withinlthe cover or cap, with n ring or finrge,D', to extend fromthe spindle nearly to the internal surface ofthe snid cov'er or cap, the purpose of such ringonllnnge beingJ to prerent waste, duet, or'extrnneops matters, which muy work' through the hole in the cap, from getting into 'the step. v I

'lhg common bell-cap of't'he spndle-step usually rests on the step-mil, and in eonsequence thereof is i'ieble to he caught bythe spindle, (particularly when waste muy workintothe eye of'tlief yeap,) andi-evolved so's to more or less nfleot'theI movementsvof the spindle, sind causeit to irregularly wear its step, but,'by supporting theenp onthe step, l'and sottting it to the'lutfiar, that it(t`lxe cup) 4cannot be revolved hy the spindle, Iam

ennhled to accomplish. theresult of better4 protecting the step from 4dirt or waste end from lwingv improperly wornby the cup in being'revolred Vthe spindle-'Jv I V The Bunge also serves' to sternly the'cnpnnd prevent it from being worn Where it is Aclosest to the spindle.
